Languishing In Silence

In the still of the morning, before the sun has shone her face, Before the light reaches out and traces my familiar space, Quietly I retreat, with meditative thoughts, The gentle steady breath of our sleeping dog, The murmur of appliances, running night and day, Funny I don't notice, after the sun has pushed her way, Nearing 6 a.m., quiet as can be, cherishing these moments Grateful for the Sanctity.

moments of peace in a world of background noise..a sunlit sanctuary invites the day..my first thought after reading this poem that put a smile on my face
